Todd's Expert Take
We're currently seeing strong offers in Joliet despite the typical seasonal slowdown. As we head into winter 2025, scrap metal demand usually drops, but our buyers are actively purchasing vehicles to maintain inventory. This means competitive pricing for sellers right now. We're averaging $571 per vehicle in your area, with trucks and SUVs commanding premium prices due to their weight.
If you've been considering selling, late fall and winter can actually work in your favor. Fewer people sell during cold months, which means less competition and buyers eager to secure inventory. We're committed to fair offers year-round, evaluating your vehicle's actual value rather than just scrap weight.

Common Questions About Junking Vehicles for Cash in Joliet
Do you pay cash for junk cars near me?
Yes. Our junk car service buys clunkers across all of Joliet, including Crest Hill, Lockport, New Lenox, Shorewood, Plainfield, Romeoville, Channahon, Minooka, and Rockdale, and more. No matter where you are located we will make you a fair offer and come to you to remove your vehicle at no charge.
What paperwork do I need to sell my junk car in Joliet?
To sell your junk car in Joliet, Illinois, you need a valid vehicle title, state ID/driver's license, and registration. Lost titles can be replaced by submitting Form VSD 190 to the Illinois Secretary of State with the required fee. While selling without a title is possible using a notarized bill of sale and Form VSD 190, having a valid title ensures the smoothest transaction.
How are junk cars recycled and disposed of in Joliet?
When you junk cars for cash, you are selling an old, damaged, or non-running vehicle to a licensed buyer such as an auto salvage yard, junk car buyer, or car recycling facility. The buyer pays for the value of the vehicle’s parts and scrap metal, dismantles it, and recycles or reuses the components responsibly. In Will County, we work with licensed salvage and car disposal facilities that follow Illinois environmental regulations to handle vehicles the right way. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 399 tons of metal, safely drained more than 4,783 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 3,941 usable parts from Joliet vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
